I remember when Beth was first learning to play that thing...that is an 8-string Irish bouzouki, a bastard child of the Greek bouzouki...she is also a master of the 10-string Irish bouzouki as well as oboe and 4, 5 and 6 string bass.
Just wait. Someday only a handful of random people will actually know the origin of the bouzouki. Even so, I greatly appreciate the fact that the great Johnny Moynihan has introduced the wonderful thing to the west. It's an amazing instrument.
Yes, the earth is round, which is why the usual distinction between east and west is often meaningless (especially when it comes to music, which is universal). ;)
'bastard child' is a little harsh. It's just a evolution of a traditional instrument ... Things like this happen every day ... The bouzouki itself is an evolution of the tambura and comes from a very old tradition of long necked lutes from middle east, like buzuq (Turkey), tar (Iran) etc., probably 4000 BC.
An octave mandolin (or tenor mandola in Europe) is shorter with thicker strings. This instrument is an Irish bouzouki. Long strigs (just like a folk guitar) with extra light gauge for a lon sustain.
Inspirational , thank you what is the tuning , did you compose this , I wish I'd been there I would have been embarrassingly sycophantic .... and begged for a lesson ...after buying you a gingr beer of course Bon Chance
yeah, she's one of the most entertaining performers I've ever seen live. Got to catch her here in Jackson, MS (Fenian's Pub), about two years ago or so. LMAO
holy mother of god!!! im in love!!! you are so interesting to watch. are you as interesting in person??? are you a maiden fan.. or was that some random choice??
Correct, this is her 8 string Bouzouki, (or her banjo as she describes it when boarding an airplane). She also has a 10 string bouzouki (lower course) and a new electric 8 string she's using on the new album..
Amazing.
Beth Patterson is one of the best performers of our time. This one single performance is simply....one single performance. Love you Beth!!!!

Bouzouki is also - and above all - an eastern instrument :-))

In the U.K./Eire/Europe we call the US Octave Mandolin an Octave Mandola, not a Tenor Mandola that is a different instrument again.
